About the Item

77597 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Serapi Rug, 03'06 x 04'04. Step into a realm of refined heritage and rarefied beauty with this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Serapi rug—an exclusive work of art woven in the shadow of the towering Sabalan mountains of Northwest Persia. This extraordinary treasure from the late 19th century defies its size with the magnitude of its presence. Created during the golden era of signature Persian rug weaving, it bears the hallmarks of a preeminent tradition—one where every knot was a gesture of reverence for nature, culture, and the divine. Serapi rugs of this caliber are scarce in today’s market, coveted by elite collectors and design connoisseurs alike, not merely for their aesthetic excellence, but for their embodiment of legacy, status, and enduring artistry. The luminous indigo field in this majestic work of art unfurls like the velvet cloak of night, richly adorned with stylized florals and intricate foliage that seem to bloom in eternal motion. Each motif—elegantly poised and masterfully rendered—whispers a story of renewal, growth, and spiritual symbolism, inherited from generations of weavers who drew inspiration from the land beneath their feet. At the heart of this composition lies a central rosette, its geometry impeccably balanced, exuding a quiet authority that beckons the viewer inward. Framed by a resplendent red border flanked with inner and outer floral meanders, the design achieves an extraordinary harmony of form and color. The contrast between the moody, natural palette and the radiant accents conjures a tension that is both sophisticated and visually arresting—an interplay of strength and softness, of fire and earth. To own this precious Serapi is to acquire a piece of living history—an heirloom steeped in cultural significance and symbolic value. Its worn patina and gracefully faded palette speak not of decay but of endurance, a reminder that true beauty only deepens with time. Every thread is a testament to human hands guided by generations of knowledge and tradition, imbued with the soul of its weaver and the spirit of its origin. This is not simply a rug; it is a sacred artifact, tailor-made by time itself, whose rarity is amplified by its impeccable preservation and unrepeatable character. In a world overrun by mass production, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece offers a return to authenticity—a beacon of timelessness in an age of transience. Whether displayed in a private gallery, gracing the floors of a stately residence, or anchoring a curated space where luxury meets intention, this Persian Serapi rug elevates its surroundings with quiet majesty. It is a symbol of cultivated taste and discerning prestige, a refined nod to the past that commands attention without ostentation. Beyond its aesthetic splendor, this rug invites its next steward to become part of its ongoing legacy—a patron of cultural preservation, a curator of elegance, and a guardian of beauty that transcends trend. In this rare acquisition, history finds a new home—and luxury finds its soul.

An extraordinary, authentic late 19th century Persian Heriz Serapi rug. Full Pile Condition throuhgout Measures: 7'8'' x 11'1'' The Serapi rug can be traced back to the beginning of Persian handmade rug production in 5,500 B.C., but it was not until the mid-19th century that Persian rugs began to be exported around the world.
